Epson PM 260 Printer Review

Built for portability, the Epson PictureMate Dash PM 260 inkjet printer resembles a portable stereo or a small cooler with its fold-down handle and compact frame. It can operate without a PC and has decent printing speeds and quality. Epson PictureMate Dash ink cartridges have an economical price.

Designed for simplicity and portability, the Epson PM 260 inkjet is very easy to operate. It requires no computer to use, and it can load, edit and print with very little technical knowledge required. Some might consider it a limitation that it can only print 4x6 photos, but for buyers who only want this ability, they will likely appreciate the lack of complexity. The unit can be connected to a computer for extra functionality, but it is not required. It features simple editing abilities and has a full-color 2.5 inch screen. Files can be loaded from digital cameras via USB or using the memory card slots.

Epson PM 260 ink cartridges have a capacity of 100 sheets, and the Epson PictureMate Dash ink cartridges are packaged together with 100 sheets of paper, making it easy to replace the printer ink and paper at the same time. Some buyers may want to use third-party compatible Epson PM 260 ink for even lower costs.

In their review of the Epson PM 260, CNET praised its vast feature set and PictBridge compatibility, as well as the versatile USB port and capability of connecting to hard drives, CD burners and more. They found its print quality to be disappointing, however.

Overall, the Epson PM 260 is an excellent solution for the user who wants a very simple photo printer that is easy to use and will also appeal to those who want portability. Its many connection features make it very versatile.
